Our team has decades of experience in online marketing, innovation, startups, and management.
The team
Lilja Þorsteinsdóttir
CEO
Lilja is allergic to unnecessary problems. She’s the proof that redheads have no soul but she makes up for it with her infinite knowledge about innovation and startups. She’s the ultimate “doer” and has the sacred gift of knowing what search engines love.
Stefán Björnsson Önundarson
Account manager
Stefán (or Stebbi as we call him) knows everybody, and everybody knows Stebbi whether they want to or not. He has the constant need to talk, which suits his job correctly. He’s the man of the people and he loves it!
Máté Molnár
PPC expert
The Hungarian wonderchild that came to Iceland 10 years ago and isn’t keen on going back any time soon. Máté is insufferably smart in almost everything, be that online advertising, growing plants or doing business. Plus, he’s a great guy. The whole package! Google Ads Certified.
Þór Matthíasson
Business development
When it comes to search engine marketing we can say with 99.5% certainty that Þór is Iceland’s leading expert in the field. For some reason, his brain doesn’t work like other people’s brains. If the Google Ads platform is a vast, complicated spider web, Þór is the spider that knows it’s way around it. Google ads certified.
Beggi Dan Gunnarsson
Creative director
We’re scared of saying too much about Beggi since he is an enigma. He’s a whirlwind and has a beautiful brain that works best in a chaotic environment. Beggi is a legendary SEO expert, a musician, and an overall marketing nut.
Diemut Haberbusch
SEO / Project manager
One of our most experienced employee. Diemut has been researching how to get to the top of search engines since before Google existed and people browsed the web through Netscape Navigator. She’s one of Iceland’s most organized women and that’s why she’s a great project manager. Google ads certified.
Eva Eiríksdóttir
Innovation / content
Despite being from Akranes (inside joke), Eva is an indispensable link in Svartigaldur’s chain. She manages our innovation projects, writes like an angel and takes care of stuff we didn’t even know needs taking care of.
Jóhann Benediktsson
Prince Digital
Jói, usually called Prince Digital, lights up every room he walks into. He’s always on top of every situation. Voted “Best dressed employee” in 2018. Plus, he’s a super marketer and project manager.
Reynir Grétarsson
Owner and chairman
The founder and owner of Creditinfo Group. Reynir is a professional investor, lawyer, map collector, and entrepreneur. He started his career with hunting mice in the small town of Blönduós and went on to build a fintech company that operates in 30 countries.
Atli Hólmgrímsson
Machine learning / AI
According to legend, Atli used artificial intelligence to make a pizza recipe containing sweet potato, brie, and beans. According to the same legend, it’s was disgusting and now Atli only uses his talent for good things. Like constructing our really cool new marketing tech.
Árni Rúnar Hlöðversson
Forritari
The man who programs during the day and dances in the evening. Each day, Árni teaches us how we can become better people. His efforts still haven’t yielded any results, but we admire him for trying. Thanks, Árni.
Tryggvi Már Gunnarsson
Efnissköpun
Tryggvi is a gifted teacher, a guide in search of adventures, and a musician hunting for the best song. Above everything else, a super-organized guy with his head in the clouds.
